One skillet Ravioli Lasagna

I took a couple of recipes and mixed and matched them so I could use Grandpa’s Mix to replace the Italian sausage the recipes called for. Wow! I was so pleased with the results. It was easy to make and delicious! Dinner win! Yay, me! -Stephanie  

INGREDIENTS

One Batch Bag of Grandpa’s Meatball Mix (¾ cup) 

2 tablespoons olive oil (if using turkey 1 more T)

1 lb. ground beef or turkey

1 jar of marinara sauce of your choice-we love Buon Giorno Italia

1 c. water

1 lb. cheese ravioli-get fresh if you want your cook time shortened

1 1/2 c. ricotta cheese

1 large egg

kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 c. shredded mozzarella

 

 DIRECTIONS

  • Heat broiler. In a cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat add oil and cook 2 minutes, then add Grandpa’s Mix and stir to combine with oil and cook 2 more minutes or until bread crumbs are toasted.  Turn down to medium, add ground meat (if using turkey add 1 T more of olive oil) and cook until browned, breaking it apart with your spatula into crumbles. Add marinara and water to pan and bring to a simmer. Add ravioli, cover and let simmer until ravioli is tender and sauce slightly thickens, 10 minutes. Take off lid to release moisture last 3 minutes of cooking.

  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together ricotta and egg and season with salt and pepper. Drop spoonfuls of ricotta mixture all over the ravioli and let cook uncovered, 3 minutes. 

  • Sprinkle mozzarella all over, then transfer skillet to oven and broil until cheese is golden, 3 minutes. Let cool, 10 minutes, then serve.
